Smart cars: Are they worth it?




Puttycat


Sure it saves gas, but I don't think they're worth it for the following reasons...

1. The car looks embarrassing

"Yeah man, I can pick up a lot of hot chicks riding this babe! Hope they won't confuse it for a clown car though..."

2. You can't load a lot of equipment

"Well, I guess I'll have to tie these extra grocery bags on the side of the vehicle..."

3. They're unsafe

"Don't worry man...If I ever get into a wreck my airbags will protect me..." *gets hit by a deer and dies*

4. They are too small

Kid: "Mommy, I wanna play with the go go power wheel toy"
Mom: "No honey, that's my car..."

5. Not a good car to evade cops in a police chase

*cop rams smart car and kills driver*


I know I'm exaggerating (and failing at being funny), but I just wanted to get your thoughts....
@ Bluto: LOL well, I knew some trailer park, cheap, low class smuck would get offended (I think you fail about being clever with your sarcasm BTW). Yes nimrod, I know there good for parking, but does parking make this car a must have despite it's shortage of passenger seats, a lack of items to load, or immediate death?



Answer
What will a "Smart Car" be in the near future????

It will almost certainly be a Hybrid or Full electric
some have suggested cargo space will be lost to save weight, I don't think so
There are synthetic plastics in development that based on spider silk, could be ten times or more stronger than steel.


some current Smart cars have plastic skins and short life Electric power cell
Against a old metal body petrolcar, a plastic car has little chance in a pissing contest if you intend to play chicken.

What is a good attention getter for electric cars topic (speech)?

I'm saying they're not economical


Answer
I still think that people are so ignorant when it comes to electric
cars they only think of one way to make them run and that's batteries.
Its like you lost your mind and have no innovated ability to think of
more than one source of power. Every year people spend millions of
dollars to go to the gym they hop on bikes and treadmills and
ellipticals and pedal away for hours and then pay their gym for it.
Then they hop in their car and pay gas to ride home. The answer was
right in front of your face when you watched the Flintstones as a kid.
Do remember the car on the Flintstones. Hmm, not so stupid now is it?
Do remember how boats got across the ocean? Have you ever held your
hand outside the window and felt the power of the wind resistance
against your hand? The faster you went the more force you felt
pushing against your hand right. Have you noticed that the quality of
solar powered panel technology has increased tremendously in the last
twenty years. The quality of of generators and electric engines is
also there. Our government has manged to keep all of this from you
because they believe you are all ignorant and set in your ways. They
could make cars that run with out wheels but our government would
never allow it to be mass produced. If you had the means to build a
car that had electric generators that produced electricity via wind
power, Human power "recumbent bike pedals", Solar power and maybe some
lithium batteries you would have a car that would go thousands of
miles without ever needing to be charged or fueled.
But will this ever be allowed. Its amazing that china and japan have
magnetic trains that never touch the track they actually float be we
never use that technology. Its no wonder they do not put any emphasis
on science. They want us to remain ignorant and in the dark. They want
you to keep forking all the billions of dollars in tax revenue. They
want the price of fuel to sky rocket because most of them own the
stock. The only way to overcome the greed is to take matters into our
own hands and break the grip of Fuel mongrels from ourselves by building
our own fuel free cars. I just showed you the way. Now all you have
to do is " Just Do It!"
My method overcomes the perpetual energy law crap because you get extra energy, Via Human power and solar power! The sun is the source of unlimited free power and so what if you have to pedal your car for it to go long distances. I just saved you from getting fat as hell.

What's a good Razor Scooter to buy to ride in the City?

Curious Jo


Hi I work in San Francisco's financial district, so I'm looking to buy a scooter I can use to commute around the city. After while walking can get really tiring. Hence the researching. So what are some good brands/models do you recommend? I'm looking for a study scooter that can fold, and can ride smooth on pavement and uneven urban surfaces. My price range $200 and below. $100 and below even better. Also other then razor, what are other good brands to look into as well. Thank you for your time.


Answer
Razor Electric Scooter a great ride in the city

Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community



Pros:Great Price no fuel used.


Cons:You can't carry weight over 120 pounds


The Bottom Line: I had a lot of fun with my scooter. I will use it again in a safe park.




I made a purchase last year when it was summer and I was living in the middle of a city. I went to Target and found an Electric Powered Razor E100 Electric Scooter for a little over a hundred. It was a fast purchase but I didn't have a car and this seemed perfect for quick runs to the store. It goes pretty fast around 10mph. The battery lasts for 5 miles or 40 minutes of continuous use and it is easy to get going and to stop. It has a variable speed chain drive and comes with the battery and all the tools needed.

It is recommended for kids 8 and over. It takes 4 hours to charge which I feel is reasonable. It also easily folds up and comes in different colors and styles. You can twist grip the acceleration as to control you're speed easier. I am 25 but I fit the height and weight requirements so as long as I didn't get over 120 pounds I was okay riding it. So it wasn't as efficient for grocery purchases but took me to the ATM or to the bank. To start it up you have to run it over 3 miles an hour and it starts. It definitely is a workout. Don't let anyone tell you that balancing a scooter is a free ride. You use you're balance constantly and to save battery life you can turn it off and on to use. It is good for kids who are supervised. It is dangerous and illegal in some metropolitan areas and also requires frequent air.

It is a lot of fun though if you weigh under 120 and are an adult and a lot of fun for a kid. I would recommend head gear and knee pads however because at 10mph you can get injured if you fall off. Always wear over the ankle shoes because the sides of the Razor are sharp and you can bang you're ankle against it. It is best ridden in parks for recreation. It didn't work quite as well for my purpose of shopping unless I didn't want to carry house keys and a bottle of water. It also helps the environment as it uses no gas.

It is a lot of fun but be careful.

Is it safe to drive 19 hours to Florida?




Juiceman


We are going on a last minute vacation so we are driving and I'm taking my wife and kids on a long road trip. Is it safe and any advice?


Answer
children are only the horror their parents make them into. for the 16th time in my 8yr old's life, we are about to embark on a 20 hour train ride to moscow, a flight to houston, then a 3 hr drive home. for my son, it is simply life. he will climb the deays like a monkey in the train, sit like a gentleman in the plane and dern-well would drive the rented car if i let him. sensibly. so if you know your children, that should be no problem. speak calmly to your children as you have always done. tell them how beautiful thw USA is and they can SEE it as they drive. INTERACT with them- ask them to look for something unusual (i used to notice some electric transmission towers were ballerina style, standing on a single toe rather than the linebackers we had near home, broad, stocky-legged and tall. also, highways and trains run parallel some places. find on your maps (sorry, i still use real maps and assume EVERYBODY has a map) which stretches have railroads and announce to the troops to be on the lookout for trains. if your children like trains... TRY to unplug the evectronics (ganes, dvds, notebooks, ipadpodphone) and engsge each other. don't go to war over it! if gaming is life, let 'em live. try to find towns and cities with interesting things for you AND the children. i suppose each has a digital camera. like paris, texas has an eiffel tower with a cowboy hat on top!
safe- of course, drive 5 mph under the limit, you are not running a railroad (plagarism- no source quoted!!) you are on vacation. have required child seats and boosters WEAR SEAT BELTS (AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE LITTLE ONES) everyone will want a restroom break, expect to stop endlessly. pepsi break, water break- keep drinks in the cabin to let everyone drink. dehydration can cause headaches9 not good on a trip.
ASK everyone what they would like to see. google for places and try to fit in stops in several places.ENJOY the trip. when stopping, if in a safe place, toss a frisbee or football, etc. some small towns have municipal parks ideally located a block or two from the highway.

How do people manage to pay for everything?

doubted101


I'm 19, a student at BSU, and I don't come from money at all... everything that I own personally can fit in the cab of my gma's s10 pickup, and my mom has little more than I do. I'm just curious how people manage to pay for everything in their life... college, marriage, food, home(mortgage or rent), cars, gas, car insurance, health insurance, kids, phones, clothes, children's health insurance, electric.... it just seems like so much.


Answer
Its why our economy runs on debt. When I first started out in college everything I owned could fit into my vehicle too. I lived inside my car for a little while trying to make everything work. My family struggles just to pay some basic stuff and they discouraged me from going to college because of that financial burden I would be taking on. It is a burden sometimes. But worth it. I had to give up some of the essentials that are considered a luxury on my budget.

I havent gone to the doctor or dentist in way too long. Sometimes I get to a clinic when I get really bad. I gave up my car and ride public transportation. I have taken out loans and applied for many scholarships (and get rejected as well). Ive worked two jobs before. Lived in a two bedroom apartment with six people and ate Ramen noodle. I went part-time in college taking a few credits here and there while I worked full-time. It is taking me six years to do what peers did in four. But, Im doing it on my own the best I can with the resources I have.

I saved and worked. Finally at 24 got some extra help from financial aid now that Im considered "independent". I have a nice place now thats small but a good fit for me. Its strange to have real furniture but its a result of spending so much time working. Still dont have a car or insurance but slowly Im getting there.

Take heart that most people need help. They will get it from family if they can. Otherwise I suggest going to church to get help with food boxes now and then and remain humble. Its hard to see others "live it up" when you struggle but you can only focus on what you have.

How can I make a bicicle for a little boy who is an amputee?




Kate, the


He is 8 years old and was in a horrible car crash a few months ago. I baby-sit him all the time and he is very upset that he can't ride his bike now. I am going to try to turn it into a motorized bike for him, any suggestions on how to do this I would apreciate.


Answer
Buy him a pocketbike. He will be the coolest kid on the streets with one of those. They sell gas which are fast ones for about $300 and electric ones which are a bit slower but still fast for about the same price. Try ebay or check if there is a local store that sells these.
